The electronic translation service is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

The Vancouver School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Division encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.

The Vancouver School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

"Instagram allows us to post more informal and immediate moments from our schools and events," says Jen Hill, Community Engagement Coordinator at the VSB. "More and more students are posting to Instagram, and now we can be a part of that conversation. Where Twitter allows us to communicate to a more adult and news-focused audience, our Instagram voice will be fun and personal."
